PGX Daily Ultra Matrix 750mg
PGX® (PolyGlycopleX®) is a highly viscous combination of water soluble polysaccharides derived from konjac root, sodium alginate, and xantham gum. Viscous fibers have been shown to reduce postprandial glucose concentrations and lower total and LDL-cholesterol, primarily by forming a gel matrix which slows gastric emptying. Viscous fibers also trap ingested carbohydrates and lipids inside the gel matrix, decreasing the transport as well as the uptake of glucose and cholesterol at absorptive surfaces. Clinical trials have shown that in addition to the benefits of glucose and lipid reduction, highly viscous fibers were found to lower insulin secretion and C-peptide in response to carbohydrate meals, and to lower serum fructosamine, a marker of glycemic control. Viscous fibers effectively reduce the glycemic index of foods consumed simultaneously, by preventing the postprandial spikes in blood glucose concentration. Fiber viscosity has also been associated with increased satiety and reduced appetite, allowing for reduced caloric intake and weight loss. PGX‘s viscosity is greater than other known sources of soluble fiber, allowing for easier dosing and greater efficacy for its diverse benefits.
